ORGANIZER
MARIE FRANCE BOTTE

Known for her awareness-raising activities against pedophilia, she works with the Terre des Hommes association in Thailand, where she opens reception centers for exploited children. From this experience will be taken the book "Le prix d'un enfant: 4 ans dans l'enfer de en prostitution enfantine à Bangkok" in which she tells the dramatic struggle she undertook in favor of the children of the Thai capital, first exposing the shameful phenomenon and then bringing its gravity to the attention of the European Union institutions. She collaborated with Doctors Without Borders in the creation of the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Association. In 1994 her proposal to prosecute a Belgian citizen who abused children abroad becomes law. Since 2015 she is the Director of the Brussels Municipality's Protocol Office.

VIOLINIST
ROBY LAKATOS
​
Famous Hungarian violinist of Roma origin, descendant of the "King of the Gypsy violinists" Janos Bihari. Renowned for his eclectic and versatile style, his repertoire ranges from jazz to classical music which he mixes, in the same way as Liszt and Brahms, with the Roman and popular Hungarian rhythms. In 2004 he enjoyed great success playing during the "The Genius of the violin", a festival with the London Symphony Orchestra. His style, his vision, his talent for improvisation, his musical curiosity and his skills as a composer make him one of the most intriguing and successful musical talents today.
